Welcome to your identity with your core truths and values exercise!
Many high-achieving women have done values exercises before. You might already know your top five values—at least on paper. But if you’re reading this book, something inside you is searching for more. This isn’t just about naming values; it’s about uncovering what’s truly driving you and whether your life reflects those truths.
Values aren’t just ideals we admire—they are the foundation of our fulfillment. When we feel stuck, drained, or disconnected, it’s often because we’re unconsciously living out of alignment with what we say we value. This exercise is designed to help you see beyond the surface and challenge yourself to reconnect with what truly matters.
Before diving into the list, take a deep breath and ask: “When I imagine my most fulfilled, authentic self… what truly matters to me?”Write down any words, themes, or values that surface—without filtering or editing.
Many people list values they aspire to have, but the real question is: Are you actually living them? Below is a curated list of values across core areas.
Achievement & Growth – Success, Learning, Challenge, Excellence, Influence, Mastery
Freedom & Flexibility – Independence, Autonomy*, Adventure, Creativity, Innovation
Impact & Leadership – Making a Difference, Service, Mentorship, Legacy, Contribution
Connection & Love – Family, Friendship, Loyalty, Belonging, Authenticity, Empathy
Integrity & Character – Honesty, Respect, Fairness, Responsibility, Accountability
Well-Being & Balance – Health, Rest, Inner Peace, Joy, Simplicity, Harmony
Faith & Spirituality – Purpose, Meaning, Faith, Gratitude, Transcendence, Surrender
Wealth & Security – Financial Freedom, Stability, Generosity, Legacy, Prosperity
Look over what you circled, starred, and underlined. Then answer:
Out of everything that stood out, pick the five values that feel non-negotiable for the life you're building.
My Top 5 Core Values Are:
For each of your top five values, rate how aligned you feel (0-10) between what you say you value and how you actually live it.
| Value | How Important Is It? (0-10) | How Aligned Is Your Life With This Value? (0-10) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. family | 10 /10 | 6 /10 |
| 2. | __ /10 | __ /10 |
| 3. | __ /10 | __ /10 |
| 4. | __ /10 | __ /10 |
| 5. | __ /10 | __ /10 |
If there’s a big gap between importance and alignment, what’s causing that disconnect?
What excuses or external pressures are pulling you out of alignment?
Next to each value, write one way you can live more fully into it this week. Small, intentional action creates realignment and momentum.
Forget what you wish you valued for a moment. If a stranger looked at your calendar, habits, and daily decisions, what would they say your true values are?
